THE CONTROVERSY.
Let there be no mistake as to the state
OF the controversy between Lord Lans-
doWne and ourselves. We have made spe-
chic and terrible charges, and given day and
date. They are charges which if untrue
would wlther us with disgrace. They are
charges OF barbarity and injustice so hide
Gus that II true, and up to this, time
LORD Lansdowne has not dared
to challenge a single one of them,
Ihey will be an eternal brand of shame on
the Canadian name if you submit without
protest to be governed by such a man.
lCheers.] TO these charges all the world to-
day Is demanding and insisting upon the
answer. We believe every generous in
stlnct OF Canadian freedom and fair play
Will revolt at the idea of answering such in
dlctment by riot and murder, by attempts
to strangle our voices and stone us to death
in the streets of Toronto. [Groans.l
LANDsDowNE RESPONSIBLE
ut is all very well to say that Lord Lans-
downe Is not responsible for the conduct of
his friends in Toronto He has written a
public letter eulogizing and endorsing the
action of Mayor Howland's meeting, and
the speeches at that meeting were every bit
as brutal and unmanly as the paving stones
that followed them. am sorry to have to
say it, but believe if Lord Lansdowne had
himself headed the mob he could not have
taken more effectual means to
enlist the forces of the Orange
men of Toronto under his banner.
lfroans,l And everybody who knows the
dark and bloodstained activity of that fac
ton knows only two well how easy is the
transition from the incendiary speeches in
Queens Park, which Lord Lansdowne pub
lcly commended, to the paving stones into
which the Orangemen of Toronto trans
lated them. Loud cheers and groans for
Lansdowne.] | can't believe that
in full sight of the world the Canadian
people will submit to such an outrage on
their liberty and upon their fair fame,
without some protest, which will proclaim
to all the earth that if Lord Lansdowne is to
remain in Canada and to defend himself, it
must not be by aid of advocates who would
trample and stone man to death for at
tempting to remedy hideous and intolera-
bic wrong" [Thunders of applausel
The vast audience then arose and sang
"God Save Irelandn
After a speech by Mr.. Kilbrige, the
evicted Lansdowne tenant, the following
